About

2021–Present

As an Art Director at SkyKick, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to execute engaging multi-channel campaigns, resulting in increased product registrations and qualified leads.

As a leader, I deliver strategic thinking and planning in support of lead generation campaigns, as well as create and maintain efficient workflows to meet tight deadlines.

As a hands-on creative, I’m able to design and develop all creative deliverables for digital marketing, including landing pages, ebooks, static and animated digital ads, infographics, emails, and presentations.

Much of our work is dedicated to website design and other digital experiences, for which we utilize messaging frameworks, analytics, and customer insights to inform design decisions and measure results.

2018 – 2021

As Creative Director for this deeply experienced and talented Brand Strategy team, I was in the exciting position of utilizing research and insights provided by the strategists as the foundation for my thoughtful approach to design. Doing my best work in collaboration with others, I was able to capitalize on the team’s strategic expertise, critical thinking, and thoughtful feedback to deliver successful results as Creative Director.

2009–2021

As a freelance Art Director and Brand Designer, I’ve collaborated with diverse client teams, often working independently to execute all creative deliverables across branding and marketing campaigns. My success has required I clearly articulate the inspiration and intent behind design decisions, while always leaving room for feedback and new ideas. It’s been a rewarding endeavor learning from my clients who are experts in their field while contributing to their success with my own expertise in strategic design.

2012 – 2017

As Art Director and Senior Designer, I led multiple simultaneous projects, including direction of creative concepts, project management, and delegation of roles and tasks. I worked collaboratively and independently to efficiently produce creative content in support of our clients. I also established and improved processes and standards for internal and external quality control and provided training and professional development to enhance team effectiveness.

2005–2009

My experience as a Squad Leader taught me valuable lessons in leadership and personal growth. I learned the importance of prioritizing the well-being of others, as well as the value of diversity within a team. Additionally, my global experiences showed me the power of empathy in combating hate, which continues to inspire me in both my personal life and design work.
